DiLeonardo and another officer involved in the incident were subpoenaed for the new grand jury investigation, Newsday reported.

DiLeonardo’s attorney said the evidence will exonerate his client.

“The individual involved confessed to driving his car towards Officer DiLeonardo, and confessed that that’s the reason why he was fired upon,” Barket told WCBS 880 Long Island Bureau Chief Mike Xirinachs. “He’ll certainly cooperate completely with the investigation. He would like to see the individual who tried to run him over with a car prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

The grand jury is expected to convene in the next few weeks and could consider charges ranging from assault to attempted murder, Newsday reported.
